Technical Analysis and Research Status of Molybdenum and Molybdenum Alloy Powder Metallurgy

Paint with molybdenum powder reasons：

It is a dense, oily pigment that is flammable, insoluble in water,  easily soluble in gasoline, kerosene, and diesel and is widely used in every corner of life. From the chemical composition point of view, it is generally composed of film-forming substances, fillers, solvents, and auxiliaries. Among them, the filler can be molybdenum powder (Mo powder).

The main reasons for the use of molybdenum powder in paint are as follows:

Environmental protection: Mo powder is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, odorless, tasteless, non-radioactive inorganic metal powder, making the prepared products more friendly to the ecological environment.

Mechanical properties: Mo powder has high strength and rigidity, which can play the skeleton role and fill in the paint, making the paint film plumper and solider.

Physical properties: In addition to low hardness and coefficient of thermal expansion, Mo powder also has good wear resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, etc., which can greatly improve the thermodynamic and chemical properties and service life of paint products.

Characterization method of molybdenum powder：

Physical characterization: By observing the appearance, color, particle size distribution and other physical characteristics of molybdenum powder, we can have a preliminary understanding of its basic properties.

Physical properties characterization: Using thermal analysis (such as DSC, TGA), electrical conductivity testing and other methods can evaluate the physical properties of molybdenum powder at different temperatures and conditions. This information is crucial to understanding how the powder will behave in practical applications.

Chemical properties characterization: By observing the stability of molybdenum powder in different environments (such as different temperatures, pressures, and atmospheres), its chemical properties such as oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and reactivity can be evaluated. For example, by observing the change in mass of molybdenum powder after heating in an oxidizing atmosphere, its oxidation resistance can be assessed.

Application performance characterization: According to the performance of molybdenum powder in different application scenarios, appropriate characterization methods can be selected. In medical devices, the biocompatibility and bioactivity of molybdenum powder as a biological material can be evaluated by biological experiments.

Advantages of molybdenum based materials:

High strength and hardness

These high strength and hardness characteristics make molybdenum-based materials ideal for manufacturing high-temperature stoves, crucibles, high-temperature processing tools, and other fields.

Good corrosion resistance

Molybdenum-based materials such as acid, alkali, salt, and many other corrosive media have a good tolerance, so it has a wide range of applications in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and other fields. 

High thermal stability and good thermal conductivity

Molybdenum-based materials have high thermal stability and good thermal conductivity, so they have many applications in high-temperature stoves, electronic components, heat dissipation, and other fields. This characteristic enables molybdenum-based materials to withstand extremely high temperatures and have good heat dissipation properties.

Environmental protection and non-toxic

Compared with traditional metal materials, molybdenum-based materials usually do not contain harmful elements such as lead and mercury and have less impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, molybdenum-based materials have many potential applications in environmental protection and health.

High processing performance and low cost

Molybdenum-based materials have good processing properties and can be processed by casting, forging, rolling, and other processes. In addition, with the continuous improvement of production technology, the cost of molybdenum-based materials is also gradually reducing, making it an affordable option in many fields.

Excellent biocompatibility

Some special molybdenum-based materials have good biocompatibility and can be compatible with human tissues and organs. Molybdenum-based alloys, for example, can be used to make medical devices such as artificial joints and dental implants.
